    copied!<p>Ok I have googled for hours and found nothing that works. I need help desperately</p> <p>I have got a form with the following elements in it.</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="sendmail.php" method="post" name="enquiry"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Name:-&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="name" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Company:-&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="company" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;E-Mail:-&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="email" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Contact:-&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="contact" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Requirement:-&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;textarea name="msg"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="submit" onclick="return validation(this.form);"&gt; &lt;input type="reset" value="Reset" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>and the php has a line like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if(mail($to, $subject,$message)) { echo "&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'&gt;alert('Your Enquiry was sent successfully we will get back to you shortly'); window.location.href='javascript:history.go(-1)'; document.enquiry.reset(); &lt;/SCRIPT&gt;"; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then there's an "else" with the same code but a different message.</p> <p>The problem is when it redirects back to the form page it still has the data in the fields. What I prefer is a clean form with no data filled in when the user returns to the page.</p> <p>Please note I am a newbie to javascript so try suggesting a fix that would be easy to comprehend.</p> <p>Thanks a lot in advance!</p>
